Ashwani Dhawan, a creative high tech entrepreneur and Sachin Chopra, a modern day chef with sensibilities of two continents have collaborated to create a unique "Mantra Experience". They have tried to achieve this by putting together a trio of unique pairings:

• Pairing the California freshness with bold but not overpowering flavors and spices of India

• Pairing this great new cuisine with some of equally bold and seductive wines from all over the world

• Pairing the bright Indian colors and contemporary art into high ceiling modern ambiance of Palo Alto's old Bijou theater

And finally delivering the trio of these pairings with warm non-pretentious service to achieve the ultimate "Mantra Dining Experience."
